Market Securities (Dubai) Limited at a glance
Market Securities (Dubai) Limited appears to be an entity operating under a Dubai-registered name that may offer brokerage or securities dealing services. Publicly available information about its regulation, trading products, platforms and fees is limited or not readily verifiable.
Market Securities (Dubai) Limited reports a founding year of 2014 and a head office in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It lists 6 regulators and 3 trading platforms.
BrokerBazaar verdict
Market Securities (Dubai) Limited is best assessed as an institutional and professional financial services firm rather than a conventional retail trading broker. Its strongest point is the directly verifiable DFSA authorisation, reference F002425, together with a licence history dating to January 2014. The Dubai entity has broad DFSA permissions covering investment arrangements, advisory services, agency and principal dealing, credit arrangements, custody arrangements and asset management. However, its official disclosures clearly restrict the intended client base to Professional Clients and Market Counterparties. The wider Market Securities group also maintains operations across several major financial centres, giving the business an international infrastructure. For retail traders, however, key information normally expected from a retail broker — such as minimum deposits, leverage, spreads, commissions and payment methods — is not publicly verified for the Dubai entity. Overall, Market Securities (Dubai) Limited is a strong regulatory-profile option for eligible professional and institutional clients, but it is not an appropriate profile for users seeking a standard retail forex or CFD broker.
Legal entities, regulation and licences
Market Securities (Dubai) Limited operates through 4 legal entities, each supervised separately. Your account is with one specific entity, so the protections you receive depend on which one onboards you, not on the group's strongest licence. Overall, the group is supervised by no regulator we could map to a public register.
